Polyp of the endometrium - treatment with modern means gives a quick and lasting result

Endometrial called the mucous membrane of the uterus. She almost instantly reacts to various changes in the woman's hormonal background. Endometrial polyps arise due to nervous, endocrine and other disruptions, and as a consequence of abortions and uterine cramping. They are a limited form of hyperplasia (excessive proliferation of tissue cells). Endometrial polyps can have the following forms: glandular, glandular fibrous, fibrotic, atypical or adenomatous.

For some reason, there is an opinion that if an endometrial polyp is found , treatment is only possible surgical. And many patients immediately panic if they are diagnosed as such. The achievements of modern medicine allow curing certain types of polyps with the help of anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agents, in just a week or a little more.

Such formation as an endometrial polyp often develops due to disorders that have arisen in the hormonal sphere. This is due to the fact that estrogen is produced in excess, and this process is combined with a lack of progesterone. In this case, if, of course, there is an endometrial polyp, the treatment is prescribed hormonal, which the doctor selects individually. This takes into account the age of the patient, the presence of concomitant diseases, the tolerability of medications. The duration of hormone therapy is usually 2 to 3 months.

It should be noted that often women do not undergo a preventive examination if they do not feel any discomfort in the genital area. But most diseases in the early stages do not have pronounced symptoms. These include the polyps of the endometrium. It is not uncommon for women to seek help only when the pain becomes strong and the polyps are large. Although everyone knows that in the early stages of the disease, treatment is much faster and more successful. In complex and neglected cases, when a large polyps endometrium develops, treatment is possible only surgical. It is very important that this tumor is completely removed. At present, hysteroscopy is widely used for this purpose. This method allows you to detect the location of the polyp, as well as to accurately remove it and monitor the bed of the tumor after the operation. The deleted material must be sent for histological examination. After receiving his results, the doctor prescribes further treatment.

As a rule, after the polyp is removed, hormone therapy is prescribed. It is necessary in order to restore the menstrual cycle and prevent relapses. But if the diagnosis is "fibrotic polyps of the endometrium," hormone treatment is not applied. This species is much less common than neoplasms that have a glandular structure, and mainly in older women.

In the event that an adenomatous polyps of the endometrium is detected, it is necessary to tune in for serious treatment. This condition is considered precancerous. According to different data, the percentage of transition of such a polyp into cancer varies widely, but on average it is 10%. Therefore, the doctor needs to be very careful, and the patient must fulfill all the necessary appointments. If such a diagnosis is made for a woman who is at a premenopausal age and has a number of metabolic-endocrine disorders, the uterus is usually removed and a thorough audit of the ovaries is performed. It is especially important to carry out such an operation if obesity, hypertension, various liver diseases, diabetes mellitus are observed. If the patient has already crossed the menopause, then surgery is shown, in which the uterus is removed along with the appendages.

Women should more closely monitor their health, and then the endometrial polyp, which is treated early enough and does not cause any complications, will not cause infertility or other serious disorders.
